TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of SF6 equipment gas supplement, and particularly relates to an automatic control SF6 equipment live gas supplement device and a use method. BACKGROUND
[0002] SF6 gas is filled in the SF6 electrical equipment, and the SF6 gas plays a role in arc extinguishing and insulation. The gas chamber storing the SF6 gas is connected with the atmosphere through a check valve on the equipment. When the interface seal of each part of the SF6 electrical equipment is not tight, the environmental temperature suddenly drops, or the like, the SF6 gas pressure in the electrical equipment will be reduced. The continuous reduction of the SF6 gas pressure directly affects the insulation of the electrical equipment. The SF6 gas pressure that is too low will cause the equipment to burn out. Therefore, the SF6 gas must be supplemented after the SF6 gas pressure is reduced.
[0003] At present, the supplement gas mode mostly adopts manual operation of the gas supplement valve. In the supplement gas process, the staff may be negligent, the supplement gas pressure is too large or the supplement gas source pressure is insufficient, and this is not found in time, causing the SF6 power transformer in live operation to be impacted by the airflow or to pour out gas, and causing the power accident, even the explosion danger.

[0009] As a further technical improvement, the heating module comprises an electric heating sheet and a heat shield installed outside the electric heating sheet. The electric heating sheet is heated to a specified temperature after being powered on, and the corresponding pipeline is baked; the heat shield is used to prevent high temperature from damaging the device inside.
[0010] As a further technical improvement, the display control device is arranged on the surface of the top of the shell, and the display control device comprises a processor and a touch screen, the processor is electrically connected with the touch screen, and the processor adopts a PLC controller.

[0012] As a further technical improvement, the power supply adopts a 24V lithium battery pack, and the 24V lithium battery pack is provided with an adapted charger.
[0013] As a further technical improvement, the valve group comprises a plurality of independent electromagnetic valves.
[0014] On the other hand, the application also provides a use method of the automatic control SF6 equipment live air supplement device, comprising the following steps: S1: starting the air pump by the display control device, opening the corresponding electromagnetic valves of the vacuum air inlet and the vacuum air outlet, and closing the corresponding electromagnetic valves of the SF6 pipe air inlet and the SF6 pipe air outlet; the device sucks the internal air of the SF6 equipment, and the detection module detects whether the internal air of the SF6 equipment reaches the vacuum;
[0015] S2: When a vacuum is reached, the display and control device controls the solenoid valves of the vacuum intake port and the vacuum exhaust port to close in sequence, thereby creating negative pressure in the pipeline to expel the air from each pipeline.

The air pump is equipped with a vacuum intake port, a vacuum exhaust port, an SF6 pipe intake port, and an SF6 pipe exhaust port. The six exhaust ports are connected to a valve group via pipes. The valve group controls the opening and closing of the vacuum intake port, vacuum exhaust port, SF6 pipe intake port, and SF6 pipe exhaust port, respectively. The vacuum intake port and SF6 pipe exhaust port are each equipped with a detection module, which is electrically connected to a display and control device. The vacuum intake port and SF6 pipe exhaust port are connected to the air inlet of the SF6 equipment via the valve group. The SF6 pipe intake port is connected to the SF6 cylinder via the valve group. The vacuum exhaust port is connected to the outside of the casing via the valve group. A heating module is installed on the pipe connecting the SF6 pipe exhaust port and the valve group.
[0028] Specifically, the detection module includes a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, and a flow meter.

[0029] Specifically, the heating module includes an electric heating element and a heat insulation cover installed outside the electric heating element. The electric heating element heats to a specified temperature after being energized, baking the corresponding pipe; the heat insulation cover is used to prevent damage to the internal components of the device due to high temperatures.
[0030] Specifically, the display and control device is located on the top surface of the housing. The display and control device includes a processor and a touch screen. The processor is electrically connected to the touch screen and the processor is a PLC controller.
[0031] Specifically, a pull rod is installed on one side, and casters are provided at the bottom.

[0033] Specifically, the valve group includes several independent solenoid valves.
[0034] On the other hand, this embodiment also provides a method for using an automatic control SF6 equipment with an electrically powered gas supply device, including the following steps: S1: Through unified control by the display and control device, start the air pump, open the solenoid valves corresponding to the vacuum intake port and vacuum exhaust port, and close the solenoid valves corresponding to the SF6 pipe intake port and SF6 pipe exhaust port; the device draws in the internal air of the SF6 equipment, and the detection module detects whether the internal air of the SF6 equipment has reached a vacuum.
[0035] S2: When a vacuum is reached, the display and control device controls the solenoid valves of the vacuum intake port and the vacuum exhaust port to close in sequence, thereby creating negative pressure in the pipeline to expel the air from each pipeline. The display and control device then controls the heating module to open and dry the moisture in the pipeline.
[0036] S3: Keep the air pump running, open the SF6 pipe intake port, and discharge the SF6 gas in the SF6 cylinder into the pipeline connecting the SF6 pipe exhaust port and the valve group under negative pressure. The drying process of the heating module runs through the entire filling process. Then open the solenoid valve of the SF6 pipe exhaust port to fill the equipment with SF6 gas. The detection module detects whether the gas pressure inside the SF6 equipment reaches the standard. If it does, first close the SF6 pipe intake port, then close the SF6 pipe exhaust port, and finally turn off the air pump and heating module.
